Don't compare him to Pedro man, plus, Pedro is a proven borderline Hall of Fame pitcher with a fastball and a slim build. Every scout said D Mat will tire out and it may take 2-3 years before he can build up to pitching 30-35 games per year in MLB....I say the Yanks pound the FUCK out of him and it will get worse come August and Sept, I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!

| An interesting tidbit from the Globe's Gordon Edes: Here's how speculation gets started -- Daisuke Matsuzaka asked for and received a uniform from Ichiro Suzuki, with whom he became good friends during the World Baseball Classic last season. The two had dinner before Sox camp opened. With Ichiro a prospective free agent after the season, you're going to hear talk about Boston being a possible destination. "I had the opportunity to play on the same team with Ichiro for the first time ever in the World Baseball Classic," Matsuzaka told Edes through interpreter Sachiyo Sekiguchi. "By being on the same team with Ichiro-san, I felt his greatness and his ability and also his reliability. I felt his greatness through that experience. If I could be on the same team with him, there would be nobody I could count on more."... When asked by the Globe's Nick Cafardo if he would come to Boston, Ichiro did not directly answer the question: "I said all I'm going to say about free agency in my first press conference for the rest of this year," he said. |

| funny quote from the sunday globe....francona said he while watching the anna nicole smith proceedings last week he was wondering if he might see manny there |
|
|
| Apoc13 |
| From Nick Cafardo's baseball notes column in the Sunday Globe: "Todd Helton would still love to play for the Red Sox. According to a source familiar with the Rockies situation, the team would love to see the Red Sox rekindle talks for a deal that makes sense for both sides. Would Manny Ramirez be a part of it, as he was when the deal was discussed in November? Probably not. But the Rockies love their young hitters, would like to make a move on Yankees righthander Carl Pavano, and need to dump some of Helton's salary. 'I think the Red Sox want to see Helton in spring training to make sure he's all right from his [stomach problems] last year and to make sure his back is OK,' said the source. 'Helton in that lineup makes them unbelievable. |

| Yankees closer Mariano Rivera cannot envision himself pitching for the Red Sox after the 2007 season, according to the New York Times: "I don't think so," Rivera told Jack Curry on Saturday. "I respect the players and I respect the organization, but we've had so much happen between us. I don't think I could do it. There's too much between the teams. I like some of their players. They're my friends. I just don't think it would be possible." Rivera raised the possibility of leaving New York at the end of this season, according to George King of the New York Post. Rivera's contract is up after the World Series. "I know I have one more year," Rivera told reporters last week following a light workout at the club's minor-league complex. "After that, I don't know what's going to happen. Definitely I want to finish my career here, but if they don't give the respect that I deserve, I have to move on." |

From what I have read, his stuff is decent vs minor league hitters in BP. But I also have been reading too much on how many think he won't last because in Japan they pitch every 6th day and their seasons are shorter there then here. Add in the fact that MLB hitters PISS on Japan's hitters, 1-9, and D MAt may be in for a tough few years.
We will see soon enough as I can't wait to see what the Yanks do to this guy.............. |

Ever since doctors declared Jon Lester cancer-free, the Red Sox have stressed that they will make sure not to overload him with work. That continues to be the team's official stance, but it's getting harder and harder to hold him back.
After throwing live batting practice on Saturday, Terry Francona said Lester looked "tremendous." And, while Francona won't rush Lester, it's exciting to see how well the 23-year old is doing.
"We will certainly keep an eye on him," said Francona. "We owe him that. (Right now) he's on the same schedule as everyone else, he has not backed off.
"We weren't going to trot him out of the gate first. The more time we can buy him, the better." |

Now, he never wants to leave.
Ramirez’ agent yesterday said the slugger wants to stay with the Red Sox [team stats] for the remainder of his playing career.
“Manny is at peace with his situation in Boston,” said Gene Mato, one of Ramirez’ representatives, yesterday. “He has indicated to me that he would look forward to the opportunity to retire in a Boston uniform.”
Ramirez’ moods and mind have been known to flip-flop before, and his relationship with the Red Sox has sustained more than its fair share of peaks and valleys, especially around trading deadlines or entire offseasons, when either the club or player has pursued a divorce. Still, the declaration by Mato represents a somewhat startling turnabout for one of the top right-handed hitters of the last decade and a fixture in the heart of the batting order.
The eight-year, $160 million contract that Ramirez, who will turn 35 on May 30, signed with the Red Sox as a free agent before the 2001 season contains two option years (2009 and ’10) worth $20 million apiece. Ramirez also has the right to veto any potential trades.
Given the ballooning spiral of salaries that commenced this past offseason - Alfonso Soriano signed an eight-year deal with the Cubs worth an average of $17 million a year - Ramirez’ salary in those option years could well represent a bargain were the left fielder’s production to remain consistent.
Mato would not address the issue of whether or not the Red Sox were aware of Ramirez’ feelings or if talks on picking up the option years have even begun. Sox general manager Theo Epstein declined to comment.
Reliever Julian Tavarez, Ramirez’ best friend on the team, was asked if Ramirez wanted to stay with the Sox and have his option years picked up.
“Would you like Jennifer Lopez to give you a kiss? Of course Manny wants his option picked up,” Tavarez said. “I’m telling you that, he does want to stay here, he does want his option years to be picked up. If they’re going to give you 40 million, you’re going to think about it? No.”
Yesterday marked Day 2 of spring training for Ramirez, who arrived a week later than other position players. He was not technically late, and he in fact arrived earlier than the Tavarez-announced expected date of March 1.
Ramirez, who has not spoken with the media, appears to be in excellent shape, focused on his workouts and his usual jolly self with teammates.
An episode yesterday reflects Ramirez’ newfound sense of contentment.
According to a photographer on the scene, team president and CEO Larry Lucchino approached Ramirez behind the batting cage on Field No. 5 at the minor league complex and inquired about the health of his mother, who is currently recovering from surgery. Ramirez put his arm around Lucchino and guided him a few steps away from the cage, where he expressed contrition for the “trouble” he caused by arriving one week after the rest of the position players.
Lucchino declined to comment on the details of the conversation, saying, “We had a pleasant, cordial conversation but I will have no comment at this point on its content.” |

interesting poll....
Where do you stand on Schill?
The Sox will not offer Curt Schilling an extension this spring. Where do you stand on that?

The Sox are making a big mistake. All it would take is a $13 million investment; if J.D. Drew is worth $17m, how can Schilling not be worth $13m?.........38.3%
